MiniXP is a bootleg Windows XP SP3 edition, which was created by Damian9303. It released on February 2, 2016, and was added to the archive on December 12, 2021.

Description

The bootleg is a stripped down Windows XP SP3 ISO. Many things have been removed from the OS, as you would expect in a mod like this. The most notable part about this bootleg is that it is one of the first ever bootlegs to use the name "MiniXP", other than that nothing else interesting can be seen in this bootleg. Except maybe the OEM branding.

It is unattended and preactivated. The bootleg was made using nLite 1.4.9.1.

Changes from Windows XP SP3

Minor changes

OEM branding is included, along with Support Information

Changes in pre-desktop procedures

The setup uses the Windows 2000 style
The pre-OOBE segment is skipped

Look and feel

Luna has been removed
All the cursors and sounds are removed

Notes

Bootleg quirks

This bootleg uses an existing "lite XP" ISO base from November 6, 2010. As a matter of fact, the volume creation date says November 6, 2010. If anything, this bootleg is actually a fork of another lite ISO with the author's branding added to it!
Setup expects a oemlogo.bmp file, but it will not copy.

WINNT.SIF metadata

The full name and organization is set to "MiniXP User" and "Made by Damian9303 2016".
The workgroup name is set to "WORKGROUP".
